At Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, we’re dedicated to helping you move freely and live an active life. Orthopedic specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. But how do you know when it’s time to see us?

Here are 7 signs that you may need to see our specialist, Dr. Hall at Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics:

1. Persistent Pain or Discomfort

Are you experiencing ongoing pain in your joints, bones, muscles, or tendons? This could be a sign of an underlying issue like arthritis, tendonitis, or a bursitis. Rather than masking the pain with over-the-counter medications, Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics can help identify the root cause and develop a personalized treatment plan to get you back to feeling your best.

2. Limited Range of Motion

Difficulty moving a joint through its full range of motion can be a sign of an orthopedic problem. Whether it’s a stiff knee, a painful shoulder, or any other joint limitation, Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics can help diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include physical therapy or other non-surgical interventions.

3. Joint Swelling or Inflammation

Swelling or inflammation around a joint can be caused by various conditions, including arthritis, bursitis, or even an infection.

4. Recent Injury or Trauma

Experiencing a recent injury like a fracture, dislocation, sprain, or strain requires proper diagnosis and treatment to ensure optimal healing and prevent long-term complications.

5. Chronic Musculoskeletal Conditions

Individuals with chronic conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoporosis, can benefit from the expertise of Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics. Dr. Jeff Hall can develop a personalized management plan to address your specific condition and improve your overall quality of life.

6. Failed Conservative Treatments

If you’ve tried conservative treatments like physical therapy, rest, and medication without significant improvement in your musculoskeletal condition, it may be time to see us. We can perform a thorough evaluation and recommend the most appropriate course of action, which may include additional non-surgical treatments.

7. Concerns About Bone Health

If you’re concerned about your bone health, especially if you’re at risk for osteoporosis, consulting Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics is a wise decision. We can perform complete assessments and recommend preventive measures to maintain strong bones and reduce your fracture risk.

Don’t wait until your pain or limited mobility impacts your daily life. Recognizing these signs and seeking help is key to proactive healthcare. We offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options to help you achieve optimal musculoskeletal health and function. Call us today at 423-499-0003 to schedule a consultation.
